The official, unofficial blog of Avalanche Software employees.
Avalanche is a game development studio. We created the Tak and the Power of Juju property for Nickelodeon and we were recently acquired by Disney. We are currently creating new properties and developing games based on Disney Feature Animation films.
This blog is a vehicle to help keep us creatively fresh and help us sharpen our skills... but mostly for fun.

Since I didn't post in time for a holiday-themed topic, we'll at least do something for winter. This topic is based on a fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson, you can read about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen

Although I figure people don't need to know the story: just come up with a Snow Queen, her court, her minions, or castle. Be creative and enjoy!

Having recently been forced from his home in the dwindling woods, Aberfeldy found a place to stay in a nearby garden. When news spread that a new brownie was in the area he was invited to join the local troop. Not one to quibble over the difference between brownies and gnomes, he graciously accepted the invitation (and the special miniature boxes of cookies). He did find the uniform a tad itchy however.

When this topic came up I looked but couldn't find any good reference of gnomes or other woodfolk. So I went out to my garden, set some traps and got this guy. He was a mean little bugger, biting and scratching until I got him drugged and tied up in my basement for a good sit down portrait session. This live gnome is now available on Ebay, free shipping!
